Good or bad year for comping?

My year has been dire too! I used to average 2 prizes a week, not huge ones but not mars bars either, but now I am lucky to win one per month. I am keeping myself motivated at the moment...but I don't know how!Thanks to all those fab compers who post:j:T0

I've been quite happy with my wins this year, nothing huge, but a few things have been very useful (lots of dog and cat food, which is what I always hope to win).I just enter and forget...hoping to win something!0

My comping year starts in November.
Last years total was 60 wins (value RRP £3233)
This year (so far) I have 49 wins (value £1869.44)
Not disappointed with my wins at all but overall value seems lower this year. Biggest prize so far this year is a 5* overnight stay in London with afternoon tea so I am very happy with that.BANGARANG :j0 -
Probably my worst comping year ever! But luck comes in various ways, whether it's a new addition to the family, a successful op, a new job, a nice holiday, & I'm grateful, but I still wanna win0

Really interesting to read, thanks all for your contributions. I had been hoping to win a weeks holiday (never won one) somewhere this year to compliment the airport parking that I won last year but this week I decided just to pay for a holiday as my time is running out to use the parking prize and Europe is heading into winter soon. So after my gorgeous children making my year for me I am off to sunny climates for some rest and relaxation.Comping from May 2012
Thank you to all that post & contribute, I think you are wonderful, I could not achieve without your help0 -
Awful year - 4 prizes altogether.
I only do competitions from MSE, but know people who do all theirs on FB and have won lots of prizes.
What does everyone else do?2019 Prize Total - £0/0 Prizes 2018 Prize Total - £100/1 Prize 2017 Prize Total - £250/2 Prizes
2016 Prize Total - £650/3 Prizes 2015 Prize Total - £250/5 Prizes 2014 Prize Total - £625/10 Prizes
2013 Prize Total - £430/5 Prizes0 -
I won approx 1 prize a month last year but down to 1 every 2 months these days. I think more companies are pushing their prizes on FB/TW, which I don't use.
Still 1 prize every 2 months is more than if I didn't comp at all.
Keep the faith lol0
